The "free book" label works very well doesn't it Nisaba? In my other BC group (BCUK) someone (WistfulDragon - I think) actually did a survery on how best to release a book for optimum results. It was discovered a sunny Sunday afternoon works best. Releases in phone boxes and woods also work well, as the finder can pick up these releases without being noticed.
Myself, I prefer doctors' waiting rooms myself, as I like to think I can cheer people up. On the occassions I have done releases, if I have had an appointment a few days later, I've noticed all books have gone. No journals yet though.
